Notes
- For the etymology of this adjective (noted in ps.-Herodian, Partitiones) cf. omicron 628.
It is attested in e.g. Herodotus' description of Babylon (1.180.3:plh=res oi)kie/wn trioro/fwn kai\ tetroro/fwn ) and in God's specifications for Noah's ark (Genesis 6.16 LXX); also used by Josephus, Origen, and later writers.
